The night sky is dotted with stars.
After getting out of the car, Chu Fang tightened his clothes.
The temperature in Shanghai isn't low, but there are occasional light breezes that make it feel chilly.
Back in the studio, it was so quiet you could hear a pin drop, and the incandescent lights illuminated the surroundings.
Chu Fang leaned against the office door, while Zhong Tingyue sat at her desk, working.
Today, Zhong Tingyue wore a dark, loose-fitting coat paired with matching wide-leg pants, which made her legs look tall and slender. Despite the loose-fitting outfit, her graceful figure was still evident.
Her long, black hair fell gently and gracefully.
Okay, Chu Fang admits he's 'lustful'.
The moment he saw Zhong Tingyue, all his worries were overshadowed by her exquisite beauty.
As if sensing someone's presence, Zhong Tingyue looked up, a faint smile appearing on her fair face: "Oh, why are you here so early? I'll be off work later."
"Boring." Chu Fang walked straight in, sat down at the desk, and fiddled with the work documents.
"How can you be bored while playing around?" Zhong Tingyue said, "I wish I could be bored every day."
“Sure,” Chu Fang replied crisply. “I’ll take care of you.”
Zhong Tingyue stood up, poured a glass of water and handed it to her boyfriend, saying with a smile, "Come on, men's words are just lies."
He paused, then joked, "What if one day I grow old and lose my beauty, and someone takes a fancy to another woman? Then I'll be left with no one to turn to."
"Women need more than just men; they need their own careers! Otherwise, if they become obsessed with men's sweet talk, they will inevitably fall into ruin sooner or later..."
This made Chu Fang feel that he was deeply guilty.
Seeing her boyfriend's helpless expression, Zhong Tingyue pursed her lips, reached out and touched Chu Fang's face, and said in a comforting tone, "Honey, thank you for your kindness, I appreciate it. We're not married yet, not even engaged, so I have no reason to accept your gift so readily."
"I am an independent individual, capable of supporting myself, and confident in making the studio bigger and stronger, becoming one of the top studios in Shanghai. Then... hehe... it won't be you supporting me anymore, it will be me supporting you."
Zhong Tingyue always had a goal in mind: to expand her studio and earn more than Chu Fang, so that Chu Fang would not be able to show off in front of her.
Just thinking about it is incredibly exciting.
Chu Fang sighed, while Zhong Tingyue said, "What? You don't believe I can succeed?"
“No,” he said, “it’s just a little difficult to surpass me.”
I don't believe it.
"How can a sparrow know the ambition of a swan!"
Now that Chu Fang had arrived, Zhong Tingyue didn't continue working overtime. She quickly tidied up and left the studio. The two of them went home as usual.
Chu Fang did not understand Zhong Tingyue's idea, but the latter was willing to accept it and let her do as she pleased.
Love is not a binding rope, but a thread that helps each other.
... ...
Having been away from work for a long time, Chu Fang was a little disoriented when he suddenly returned to work.
"Hey, hey, hey..." A soft tapping sound echoed in his ears, and he heard Jiang Wenzhen's voice, "Are you here to work or to sleep?"
"Sleeping," Chu Fang replied lazily.
"I'll deduct your salary."
"Anyway, it's only been a few days this month, so deduct as much as you want." Chu Fang rolled his head. "Jiang Wenzhen, have you been too free lately? If you're really bored, why don't you start a relationship? What are your thoughts and requirements for a future boyfriend? Tell me about it, and I'll find one for you."
"handsome!"
"What about the others?"
"It's gone."
“... ..."
Jiang Wenzhen was truly a pure person, someone detached from sophisticated tastes.
Watching Jiang Wenzhen sway away, Chu Fang turned his head to Cai Guan and said, "Little Fatty, do you think being handsome is important? Can it put food on the table?"
"Hmm..." The chubby boy pondered for a moment, then replied, "Okay, but—"
She paused for a moment, glanced at Jiang Wenzhen's back, and continued, "However, Sister Jiang is not such a superficial person, and she also hopes that her future boyfriend will be a reliable person."
Chu Fang patted the other person on the shoulder: "Hey, you've misjudged this time."
As night fell, brilliant lights dispelled the darkness.
In a quiet restaurant, the three sisters, Zhong Tingyue, Yang Meina, and He Yi, gathered together, chatting and whispering to each other.
Chu Fang turned to look at the three sisters and asked, "What do you think those three brothers are talking about?"
"I don't know," Wu Di shook his head.
“‘GhS’,” he said definitively, “three women got together and chatted about everything under the sun, all about men, and the topics were particularly stimulating.”
According to scientific research, women are more lustful than men. Once they meet a confidante, the content of their conversations is simply unbearable. The car sped up to Mount Akina and took off.
Wu Di smiled, took out a cigarette from his pocket, and offered it to Chu Fang, who shook his head: "No."
Seeing this, Wu Di also put away his cigarettes: "Not smoking is a good habit."
"When I first graduated, I neither smoked nor drank. I never expected that after only a few years in the workforce, I would be able to smoke and drink."
Chu Fang said with a smile, "Wine is the essence of grain, the more you drink, the younger you become; and if you keep smoking, all diseases will disappear."
Wu Di looked at Chu Fang, then suddenly raised an eyebrow and asked curiously, "May I ask a question?"
"ask."
"Hiss..." Wu Di stared at him, took a deep breath, and said, "How much are you really worth? I'm sorry, that's a very private matter, you can tell me or not, but I'm genuinely curious."
From He Yi's words and some minor details of their interactions, I learned that Chu Fang was at least a billionaire, and a self-made billionaire at that, and Chu Fang was younger than him.
Comparing the two, Wu Di felt a deep gap.
He was very curious about how much his friend was worth.
"Not much, just enough to get by." Chu Fang shrugged upon hearing this.
Wu Di didn't feel offended by this question, because many people had asked it before.
In this era where a person's worth is measured by money, understanding a person's net worth is the most crucial information.
Facing Wu Di's gaze, he continued, "Well... living in the mortal world, we eat rice and noodles, sleep in beds, and wear clothes. Everyone's life is pretty much the same; there is no distinction between high and low, noble and lowly."
Chu Fang experienced a life that went from frugality to extravagance, then back to frugality, and finally returned to simplicity. In just a few years, he had many experiences that few others had, and his understanding of life became increasingly mundane.
He used to flaunt his money or show off, but looking at it now, he admits that he used to be a complete idiot.
Wu Di listened to Chu Fang's words and gave a thumbs up:
"Awesome!"
